Lightweight and increasingly overdone and stupid the closer we get to the end. The premise is excellent, but it should have been used in a serious manner à la The Exorcist. The lightness just doesn't do it justice, though admittedly it doesn't outright kill it.

The Canadian-American film The Manitou has a great build-up in the sense of how bizarre it becomes, but also in the sense of how repulsive it is. It becomes more and more disgusting and bizarre. And that's what I really liked about it. In addition, we also get Tony Curtis, who could act even then and didn't turn down roles that other movie greats might have turned down. I enjoyed the film, but I'm glad it can’t be compared to the book yet.
